Week Two of the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #350

Hello Crafty Friends!!

There is still time to play with Cupcake Inspiration Challenges #350-Halloween Theme.

I have to be honest, though I like Halloween, I never really enjoyed making cards for it...until this year. It has given me a chance to GET MESSY!!! 

Can you see what I mean? Again, I did not use the Cupcake Inspiration Badge per se as the inspiration for my card but more the colors from the badge.

I started off this card by blending the background with Distress Ink in *Carved Pumpkin, Wild Honey and *Dusty Concord. I then used the Tim Holt *Script Layering Stencil over the top with *Black Soot. I also blended some Black Soot around the edges of the card front.

I then used Tim Holtz Bubbling Cauldron, Hocus Pocus, and Empty Tomb Distress Mica Spray, flicking it over the top to get my large droplets as you see. I cannot tell you how OBSESSED with this stuff I am!! While this dried, I die cut my yellow circle and blended some *Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink over the top.

I stamped the sentiment using Sugar Pea Designs Fang-Tastic stamp set and die cut my bats from black glitter paper using dies from Impression Obsession. 

I die cut my card front and layered it onto a top folding A2 card base, as shown. I used foam adhesive to "pop" the moon up and adhered the bats to my card and was finished!! I cannot tell you how happy this card makes me feel!!!

Well, that is all from me today. Please hop on over to the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge and play with us this week!! We are also teaming up with the Double Trouble Challenges this time. Please put your cards with the following rules:

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS day!! 

Just Us Girls Challenge Guest Design Week 4-Photo Week #607

 Hello everyone!! I hope you all had a FABULOUS week. 

I have been so busy trying to get my head above water this week with cleaning, designing and adding a work out into my day. I wish my body didn't need a work out because it is time that I could use doing things I LIKE TO DO!!!

Today I am here with another card as a Guest Designer for the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog. This weeks Challenge #607 was to use a photo as the inspiration. Below is what I created.

The challenge badge inspired me for a few elements on my cards. First, I was inspired by the colors. Then, I was inspired by the stars and my last piece of inspiration was to use at least one animal on my card.

I pulled out the "Birthday Wishing" stamps and dies from the Colorado Craft Company to create with. I had bought these ages ago and never used them. I thought by coloring the mice a warm gray with Copics would help me get in one of the colors I wanted to use.

I loved how these mice came out!!! I layered them over a circle from The Greetery that I die cut out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I used some Glossy Accents over the present and a teeny bit of Nuvo Bubblegum Blush Gloss for their noses.

The stars were embossed using a Paper Studio "Tiny Stars" embossing folder onto a piece of Concord & 9th piece of cardstock. 

The pattern paper on the right is from Lawn Fawn's "Watercolor Wishes" 6" by 6" paper pad.

This card came out so much better than I had anticipated! I will be creating an exact replica of this card as I stamped two of these mice images and colored them in the same way. 

Please hop on over to the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog to play with us this week. I cannot wait to see what you create.

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #350

 It is time for another Cupcake Inspiration Challenge!!! This week the theme is HALLOWEEN!!!

I created a little wall hanging I sent out to my niece.

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for #350.

I did not use the monsters as my inspiration but rather the colors of orange, purple and black for my creation.

I bought the little frame at Michael's. I painted it with white and die cut  piece of OLD Basic Grey paper in a hexagon for the inside. I used a combination of dies from Sugar Peas Designs (cauldron) an Sizzix (witches legs). The sentiment is from Impression Obsession.

If I had to make this again, I probably would have painted the outside a darker color but I was in a rush to get this done to send out. I need to start my projects earlier!!!

Well, that is all from me today. Please hop on over to the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge and play with us this week!! We are also teaming up with the Double Trouble Challenges this time. Please put your cards with the following rules:
